How to insert text into buffer from vim commandline?

Hi,

Is there anyway I can insert some text(say "Phani%d",count) into the buffer at cursor position?

This is my use case.

I have a code where in at specific places I have some text like "// PLT".

Now I want to append a serial number to this 'PLT' every where. So that all the lines with PLT will now become  "// PLT1", "// PLT2" etc.,

This is the way I am thinking of doing this.

1. Maintain the count in global variable say PLT_count

2. First search for "// PLT"

3. Now record a macro(a) with these commands 

      a. qa ; record the macro to register a

      b. call MyFunc which appends the PLT_count to "PLT"

      c. n ; so that I 'll move cursor to the next PLT line.

      d. q ; stop recording

Now since I know that I have 55 occurrences of PLT

I 'll do 55@a

Now, the problem is how to write MyFunc, where I specifically need to insert text( "%d",PLT_count) at the cursor position.

Thanks,

Phani.
